    Management of Poverty and its Inherent Crises and Conflicts in Nigeria: The Role of the Church
    (School of Arts and Social Sciences, Federal College of Education (Special), Oyo, Oyo State, Nigeria., 2011-07) Okunoye, Job Oluremi
    One major challenge confronting Africa is the problem of poverty, coming to the Nigeria situation, the phenomenon of poverty is a pervasive one in spite of her great natural wealth, Nigeria is poor and social development is limited. Since the global economic downturn and the dwindling petro-dollar income, more than 70 percent of Nigeria live below the poverty line while some 35 percent wallow in abject poverty, in fact, real grinding poverty. In fact, Nigeria is represented as pitiably sitting in the bowels of poverty as the 154th of 172 countries in the world poverty marginal index. However, the government of Nigeria from federal 'to local level have since pre-occupied herself with programmes and strategies of alleviating poverty but we are yet to see any appreciable impact of all these programmes to which billions of naira is being spent. The church must collaborate with the government in its effort to manage poverty in our society, and this is the focus of this paper. Striving to improve the living conditions of the poor, and to save them from their plight is the best way of demonstrating the spirit of Christ.

    The Role of the Church Towards Achieving Good Governance in Nigeria
    (Department of Religious Studies, Faculty of Arts, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria., 2012) Okunoye, Job Oluremi
    Nigeria has had more than its fair share of the worst form of governance — civil or military. She has been at the receiving end of political tyranny, thuggery, rigging of elections, injustice, corrupt political office holders, unfaithfulness, tyrannical rulers, gagging or cowing the opposition into submission, assassination and so on. The inordinate and selfish ambition of the good boys to have their own share of the national cake has strangulated national development and derailed the train of technological advancement. If, as a result of the development of politics into a dirty game, Christians stay aloof, can their aloofness remove the evil from politics and governance? Will it not rather help it to take such deep roots as to make it difficult to dislodge? It is with this concern that this paper looks at the essential elements of good governance and the role the church, which is the united body of Christ, can play to help bring about good governance in Nigeria. The paper establishes that the church has a sacred duty to provide the moral foundation and be the conscience of the nation. It concludes by discussing essential qualities an effective politician who is to govern must possess before he/she can facilitate good governance.

    Effective Poverty Alleviation Programme as Panacea for Security Challenges in Nigeria: The Ancient Israelite and the Contemporary Church Experience
    (Department of Religious Studies, Faculty of Arts, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria., 2015) Okunoye, Job Oluremi
    Poverty and insecurity constitute two major challenges confronting Africa generally and Nigeria in particular. Both -poverty and insecurity are like Siamese twins that cannot be separated. As a matter of fact, higher percentage of the security challenges being witnessed in Nigeria is caused by poverty. Indeed, poverty in Nigeria has become a breeding forum for all social ills being experienced in the country today such as kidnapping, armed-robbery, ritual killing, pipeline vandalisation and the rest. The reason for this is not far-fetched; it is because “an idle hand is the devil’s workshop. “ Consequently, many of the unemployed youths in Nigeria engage in various criminal acts that constitute security threats to Nigeria. Bearing in mind the fact that one possible way of overcoming security challenges in Nigeria is to put effective and functional poverty alleviation programmes in place and which the Nigerian government has failed to do, this paper, therefore, examines various poverty alleviation mechanisms put in place in the Old Testament to effectively curb poverty and insecurity (food, economic, social and political insecurity) in ancient Israelite society. This is with a view that the contemporary church as collaborator with the government in finding lasting solution to the problem of poverty and insecurity would borrow a leaf from the experience of the ancient Israelite society in its attempt to respond to the cry of the poor and security challenges in Nigeria. The paper recommends that the church should actively be involved in the poverty alleviation struggles of the government (as the government alone could not do it) through effective and functional poverty alleviation programmes as practised in ancient Israelite society.

    Jeremiah as a Model of Homiletical Courage for Nigerian Preachers
    (National Association for Christian Studies (NACS), 2015) Okunoye Job Oluremi
    The Old Testament prophets were preachers who had colour, courage and dynamic qualities but of them all, Jeremiah possessed the most universal appeal. He was a faithful, obedient and courageous preacher though he was severely persecuted, beaten, rejected and imprisoned. His life and ministry was a remarkable one and stand as a challenge to the contemporary Nigerian Christian preachers. This paper therefore examines and appraises the life and ministry of prophet Jeremiah by reflecting on some of his distinguished personal characteristics using historical-critical method. This is with a view of making him a model for the contemporary Nigerian Christian preachers. It is recommended that the contemporary Nigerian Christian preachers should reprimand superstitious religiosity, legalism, formalism and incorporation of worldliness into Christianity.

    A HISTORICAL BACKGROUND TO THE CHALLENGE OF NATIONAL POLITICAL LEADERSHIP IN NIGERIA
    (NIGERIAN JOURNAL OF SOCIAL STUDIES, 2015-10) Ogunbunmi, O. A.; Bamigbose, Jacob Olusola
    It is becoming an acceptable fact that leadership problem is an important challenge that faces the Nigerian polity in the contemporary age. The problem has greatly precluded sustainable growth and development of the country. This paper, therefore examines the situation and the existential realities that have networked together to precipitate the challenge of national political leadership in Nigeria. The paper discovers that the foundation of Nigeria was laid with a phenomenon that dictates the super structural political history of Nigeria that is fraught with leadership challenge after independence. Hence, the paper suggests establishment of national mechanisms that can help creates political figures with human tendencies favourable to nationhood, as well as the structures that will sustain unionism among the diverse ethnic groups in Nigeria. The work relies on qualitative analysis to address its focus. Data were sourced from books, journals, newspapers, magazines and other relevant historical documents.

    Religious Crisis as Bane of Economic Development in Nigeria
    (John Archers Publishers Limited, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria., 2016) Okunoye, Job Oluremi
    Nigeria, according to Awoniyi (2012), is a religiously pluralistic society but constitutionally, a secular state. In Nigeria, people practice three main religions - Christianity mainly in the south and Middle Belt, Islam, mainly in the north, and Traditional Religion in every part of the country. Every Nigerian according to 1999 constitution is entitled to practice religion of his/her choice including freedom to change his/her religion or belief; and freedom to manifest and propagate his/her religion or belief in worship, teaching, practice and observance. Meanwhile, a cursory exploration around the country recently reveals a lot of ugly and terrifying news of wanton destruction of lives and property as a result of incessant religious crises most especially the Boko Haram insurgency. This has great negative economic influence on the Nigerian citizens. The Nigerian government and the intellectuals and various inter-religious organisations have spent a lot of time, energy and resources to work out modalities for amiable religious inter-group relations. But it is disheartening to say that solutions toward religious crisis in Nigeria seem to be a mirage. Consequently, economic development is hampered. Therefore, this paper examines the perennial incidence of religious crises in Nigeria and its negative economic influence on the Nigeria citizens.
